Im not a huge fan of Ozzie's music and have only just got into it. I didn't even know any of his music till his TV show came out. Since then I have got to know this misterious Prince of Fuckin' Darkness.
One song in particular has cought my attention and I can't seem to stop listening to it. I heard it on the TV show first, he performed it live and dedicated it to Sharon (she was recovering from cancer at that time). The song is "Mama, I'm Coming Home". Listening to the lyrics, it sounds like a song that he had actually writen for Sharon. I say this cause at times through out the show he would call Sharon Mama and she would call him Pa. Did he actually write the song for Sharon, or am I mistaken?
For those that dont know the lyrics, here they are.

Mama, I'm Coming Home


Times have changed and times are strange
Here I come, but I ain't the same
Mama, I'm coming home
Times gone by seem to be
You could have been a better friend to me
Mama, I'm coming home

You took me in and you drove me out
Yeah, you had me hypnotized
Lost and found and turned aroound
By the fire in your eyes

You made me cry, you told me lies
But I can't stand to say goodbye
Mama, I'm coming home
I could be right, I could be wrong
Hurts so bad, it's been so long
Mama, I'm coming home

Selfish love yeah we're both alone
The ride before the fall
But I'm gonna take this heart of stone
I just got to have it all

CHORUS
I've seen your face a hundred times
Everyday we've been apart
I don't care about the sunshine, yeah
'Cause Mama, Mama, I'm coming home
I'm coming home

You took me in and you drove me out
Yeah, you had me hypnotized
Lost and found and turned around
By the fire in your eyes

CHORUS

Yeah. I also love this song. I love Dreamer aswell. It was written for Shron. 'kinda sweet really.

was Mama writen for her to???

Absolutely!
When I lived away from home, I used 2 play this on my journey back 2 see family - always made me feel good.
Yeah - Dreamer is great 2.
OzzY has a whole back catalogue of really great, great stuff - he's much more than how he's portrayed as a bumbling old fart now.
He's very good at what he does, and with the fantastic business behemouth that is Sharon the guy will be top of his game until he calls it quits.

Ozzy fucking Rules!

Where the fuck have you been? in my best english accent

Start with the Randy Rhoads stuff (Diary of a madman/Blizzard of Oz) and go through the 80's. Yeah his new stuff is cool too but you've got to see him live for the full affect.

Ive been listening to Prince LOL
im not huge on the Heavy Metal scene, so i hadnt heard much of his stuff, but from what i hear he deffinatly has a tallent that made Heavy Metal what it is 2day.

Just joking. Yeah it Ozzy with Black Sabbath that made Heavy Metal what it is today. If you want to check out that stuff, check out "We Sold our Soul for Rock & Roll". Every song is a Sabbath classic.

What cracks me up is the commercial for the new season where Ozzy and Sharon are doing a parody of the "All in the Family" theme song. I don't know who sounds worse, Ozzy or Sharron. What makes it funny is this dude is allegedly a singer lol. This cat is funny to watch stumble around on TV but you would have to hold me at gun point to make me listen to his music.
